A Mumbai suburban service disgorges another load of passengers at the Victoria Terminal in the heart of Mumbai. The suburban railway is a vital artery of the city and remains the fastest way to get from one point to the other. On weekdays trains run at 10 minute intervals on many lines to cope with the demand.
In Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai.
Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, lies on prime property right in the middle of India's financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay).
It is home to more than a million people. Many are second-generation residents, whose parents moved in years ago.
Today's Dharavi bears no resemblance to the fishing village it once was. A city within a city, it is one unending stretch of narrow dirty lanes, open sewers and cramped huts.
In a city where house rents are among the highest in the world, Dharavi provides a cheap and affordable option to those who move to Mumbai to earn their living.
Rents here can be as low as 185 rupees ($4/£2.20) per month. As Dharavi is located between Mumbai's two main suburban rail lines, most people find it convenient for work.
Even in the smallest of rooms, there is usually a cooking gas stove and continuous electricity.
The Bandra–Worli Sea Link, Mumbai officially called Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, is a cable-stayed bridge. Miracle of engineering.
I walk with these bins on the trolly, starting early in morning, cleaning the roads with sometimes even human waste on it. I don't have know what infection I may be exposed to today or what can leave me bleeding while picking up the waste. When most of yo
Today ten years have passed since the infamous 26/11 attack on Mumbai. The resilient Aamchi Masst Mumbai glows like a candle, rather a beacon to the rest of the country to fight back & grow even mightier, against all odds.

Dear friends and colleagues from Flickr.
This is the 7th in the series on the city of Mumbai.
It was not easy shooting these pics from the height I have shot.
Physical risk was involved while shooting this series on Mumbai Skyline.
To say the least, there was no such thing called 'Terrace' or a flat surface area from where I could shoot, there were just small square pillars in the name of terrace of say 20 inches by 20 inches space from which i had to balance myself, aim, shoot and then jump from one pillar to another to move from one corner to another to shoot all the sides of the city.
On top of it there was a lot of wind from all sides, a slight mis - balance on those square pillars while shooting and I would have been thrown 2 floors down.
So risk taken, enjoyed.
It was also my dream to shoot South Mumbai from this height and I am proud of this achievement.
I, thank my friend Javed Mulla for helping me to get access on this location.
Without his contacts, this location and this series wouldn't have been possible.
So friends lets me know what you think of these series.

As far as the clichés in photography go, this is certainly not a new one. Many have already captured Marine Drive in a panorama, but that obviously does not stop one to try it again!
It took eleven separate photographs and almost 45 minutes on Photoshop to stitch them into how it looks like now.
Mumbai (das frühere Bombay) ist eine dicht besiedelte Metropole an der indischen Westküste. Die größte Stadt Indiens ist auch deren Finanzzentrum. Am Hafen von Mumbai steht der berühmte steinerne Torbogen des Gateway of India, der 1924 von der britischen Kolonialregierung erbaut wurde. Vor der Küste auf der nahen Insel Elephanta befinden sich alte Höhlentempel, die dem Hindugott Shiva geweiht sind. Zudem ist die Stadt als Zentrum der indischen Bollywood-Filmindustrie bekannt. ― Google
